All the furnishings in the room were empty and dust was flying. Light filtered through the cracks in the window and two clear traces of footprints could be seen on the ground.

From beginning to end, the two of them stood facing each other, but kept more than one meter apart.

Shen Yanzhi looked at the footprints carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief, then walked around the room at will, messing up the footprints in the room with his own.

Wang Lian walked behind Shen Yanzhi and listened to Shen Yanzhi's questions.

"This room was originally the workshop of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. Your Majesty, do you still remember the well next to it? It was the water supply here."

Naturally, Shen Yanzhi would never forget the well where Yu Huan was in danger.

"How come it was abandoned?"

Wang Lian was silent for a while, and when he saw Shen Yanzhi's questioning eyes, he said, "The Queen Mother abolished it that day."

Shen Yanzhi recalled his childhood memories. When he was a child, about eight years old, he remembered that there was a ghost in the palace, and it was very serious that time.

Shen Yanzhi had forgotten the specific situation.

Wang Lian then said: "Your Majesty was still young at the time and may not remember it, but after the death of Concubine Leng, who was the favorite in the harem for a while, she has been showing up in the weaving and dyeing bureau. The Empress Dowager was still the Empress at that time, so she sealed her finger. here."

Shen Yanzhi knew that there was another piece of the past that could not be revealed.

Then he ordered the guards behind him: "Go and investigate and find out who the doctor Jiang visits every time he visits the cold palace."

The guard went down, and Wang Lian waved his hand in the air a few times: "Your Majesty, it's very dusty here, why don't you go out first?"

Shen Yanzhi knew that he felt it was unlucky to be here, so he walked out.

However, he still couldn't figure out why Imperial Physician Jiang and Ren Yuhuan were together, and why the two became allies?

On the second day, Shen Yanzhi still insisted on letting Ren Yuhuan serve in the palace, but he often brought Xuejian with him.

Ren Yuhuan was in a complicated mood. She didn't want to think too much about it, just thinking it was because she couldn't be favored and canonized in the same way.

Xuejian is very gentle, she doesn't even say a word of coquettishness, she is more of a companion by her side.

When Ren Yuhuan saw Xue like this, he was naturally undefended.

As time went by, the two of them could still exchange a few words when they met.

However, what Ren Yuhuan didn't know was that Xuejian paid close attention to her.

When Shen Yanzhi heard that there seemed to be a plague in the Huanxi Bureau, he immediately issued an order to let Dr. Jiang take full charge of the matter.

In fact, as the imperial concubine's doctor, Imperial Physician Jiang was not allowed to deal with such dangerous matters.

But Shen Yanzhi didn't discuss it at all. When he heard about the plague, he sent Doctor Jiang to go directly.

Xue Jian was very worried after hearing this, and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang has always taken care of the imperial concubine. If Dr. Jiang is suddenly allowed to leave, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will not be able to adapt to it."

Ren Yuhuan heard this and immediately said: "The plague in the palace city is not a small matter. If it is infected, the consequences will be disastrous. Wouldn't it be safer to let more experienced imperial doctors handle it?"

Ren Yuhuan had made this kind of suggestion many times before. After Shen Yanzhi heard about it, he would seriously consider her suggestion and then make a decision.

In fact, most of the time, Ren Yuhuan's advice will be followed.

However, this time, when Shen Yanzhi heard these words, his face became a little cold, and his dark eyes flashed with suspicion and anger.

Ren Yuhuan never saw this, but thought it was because she was no longer favored, so now she no longer had the ability to speak.

"My slave has overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ren Yuhuan knelt down to apologize, but Shen Yanzhi just waved his hand: "Get up, I don't blame you!"

Ren Yuhuan stood up and pushed himself to the wall, waiting for Xuejian's thoughts. This matter will probably be decided based on Xuejian's ideas.

Ren Yuhuan thought so, but Xuejian knew that this matter had been ruined because of Ren Yuhuan's suggestion.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi's brows knitted together, the brush he was holding in both hands was thrown on the table.

Xuejian could only say: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about the plague. Send a few more imperial doctors to check. It will be better to stabilize the situation as soon as possible."

Shen Yanzhi hummed and insisted: "Let Imperial Physician Jiang go and check the situation first. If necessary, we will send other Imperial Physicians there. That's it!"

Ren Yuhuan was worried. He walked out of the imperial study and walked along the white palace wall. Suddenly he heard someone calling from behind.

Ren Yuhuan turned around and saw a sedan following her. A palace maid next to the sedan called her.

"Meet Mr. Xue."

The palace maid opened the curtain of the sedan chair, revealing the face of Xuejian sitting inside.

Xuejian walked out holding the palace maid's hand, looked sideways at the others and said, "I have something to give instructions to the catering lady, you follow behind."

After speaking, he turned to Ren Yuhuan and said, "I have been seriously ill recently. My taste is bland and I always feel bitter in my mouth. I want to eat something sweet, but after eating it, I feel it is too sweet. Is there any way to do this?"

Ren Yuhuan knew in his heart that Xue Guiren came here deliberately not to say these words.

"My slave can make a special pastry for the queen, pumpkin cake. It is made from the natural sweetness of pumpkin. It is not too sweet and is easy to eat."

"Oh, that sounds really good."

Xuejian quickened his pace, and Ren Yuhuan immediately followed, putting some distance between him and the group of people in the sedan behind him.

"Do you know why His Majesty insisted on sending Dr. Jiang to manage the plague?"

Ren Yuhuan no longer thought that what Guiren Xue wanted to tell him was what happened in the palace just now, and immediately looked at Guiren Xue with some doubts: "Is Guiren Xue talking about Imperial Doctor Jiang?"

Xue Jian's slender brows and eyes exuded a cold air, and the previous gentleness was completely gone, like a flowering tree in spring turning into a dead tree wrapped in ice in winter.

"You will always implicate the people around you. For the sake of everyone, I hope you stay away from innocent people!"

After Xue Guiren finished speaking, he glanced at Ren Yuhuan, then turned around and walked towards the sedan.

Upon seeing this, the attendants immediately ran up with the sedan, and Ren Yuhuan could only stand by the palace wall with his hands down, watching Guiren Xue's sedan go forward.

She must go and talk to Ren Qianyu about this.

Ren Yuhuan wondered why Xue Jian had such thoughts.

Implicated?

Did she do something to make Shen Yanzhi angry?

But Ren Yuhuan has always maintained a distance from Imperial Physician Jiang. No one should know about their relationship?

Unless Xuejian revealed it to Shen Yanzhi.

Ren Yuhuan felt strange, but still went to the Imperial Pharmacy to find Dr. Jiang.

But I heard that His Majesty issued an order for Dr. Jiang to rush over immediately. Now Dr. Jiang is already inside the Huanxi Bureau.

Ren Yuhuan immediately found the Huanxi Bureau. The entire Huanxi Bureau was heavily guarded, and a white cloth was pulled up to isolate it. She could only stand at the door and watch.

"Worry?"

Ren Yuhuan heard a sound and turned around in surprise. Unexpectedly, the person who appeared next to him turned out to be Shen Yanzhi. (End of chapter)
